Seiko Presage SARX087 Castle in the Sky: Official product partnership, not an in-work appearance. Seiko's SARX087 is a real 2021 Presage limited edition inspired by Studio Ghibli's Castle in the Sky. The dial and case-back incorporate motifs from the film; it is a licensed anime-associated watch rather than a model shown on a character's wrist. (Seiko press release) The levitation-crystal crest from Sheeta's pendant sits at six o'clock on the enamel dial, while the crown recreates the crystal in glass. Pazu's father's image of Laputa decorates the case back, alongside the story's chant. These details translate objects and imagery from the adventure into the later licensed watch's design. (Seiko)
